the rectal prolapse of norman lamont: terrible post-britpop/dadrock ephemera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM_NLFbuf2I

dodgy - lol geir hongro
echobelly - mehhhh
embrace - lol sick mouthy
gomez - isn't this a jam band or something??
menswe@r - not actively offensive
warm jets - fuck these guys for naming themselves after eno, haven't heard em though

voting......... oh who cares

warm jets had one really good single but the album was v embarrassing for using the word 'internet' in the lyrics somewhere

I saw Midget supporting Redd Kross around 1997. They were a steve lamacq approved band (yes a 3 piece pop punk band) they were fucking awful evening session pish.

Warm Jets supported Blur at the SECC on the s/t album tour. They were crap (blur were great)

(blur were great)

lol @ u

this was dreadful

xp

oh i knew someone might want to have a go at blur

ooh no not the sacred cow

Check the Shine series of cd's for all britpop/dadrock horror (there's TEN of them)

If the longpigs are a sacred cow of british english music then quick get them to mcdonalds.

british indie, not english obviously

british english music

haaa

you guys should feel lucky you did not get TFI Friday with Chris Evans over there. Most britpop bands who appeared on that got a hit because of it.

ilxor youtube a track by beach band here and review it

fuck my typing is real shit tonight. i better go to bed

everyone vote for kenickie to annoy ilms true indie kids ;)

I liked a number of these bands (typically their first albums only), and Puressence is still going and producing good stuff.

However, for some inexplicable reason I have everything Warm Jets ever did.

I see whatshername from Sleeper virtually every morning when I drop my kids off at school.

No Kula Shaker?!

No Skunk Anansie

No Catatonia.

i hate these kind of polls.

Rialto are by far the worst of these bands that i have heard.

the best album is Embrace Drawn from Memory with Unbelievable Truth and the Bluetones having some good moments.

She's doing the same?

Yeah, she's one of the other parents there.

every dubstar vote will make LJ cry, not that i'm trying to influence anyway..

srsly why are they here, they started in like 1994 and sound a bit like a computerised Smiths gone dancepop

dodgy were really not too bad. the album 'free peace sweet' has some great moments, just needs trimming. 'good enough', 'ain't no longer asking', 'trust in time' can get to fuck but the rest is pretty sweet. 'one of those rivers' is epic cheese of the best kind, 'ukrip' is genuinely kickass etc etc

You're so off the mark there regarding Dodgy, LJ; Homegrown is a very good album but FPS is fucking bilge. Horrific nastiness.

this is probably the best song by any band listed

let us never forget skunk anansie headlined the last night of the last glastonbury of the 20th century.

come on son

re: marion, i think 'time' is vastly better than 'sleep'

had an ex who adored them so i know far more about their catalogue than i should

These Animal Men were pre-Britpop if anything xpost

My personal hall of shame - I have owned stuff (one-off singles mostly, if that's any excuse) by the following:
dodgy
dubstar
echobelly
gene
kenickie
longpigs
marion
powder
sleeper
bluetones
number 1 cup
60 ft dolls
warm jets

I've never owned anything at all by anyone on this list, didn't mind Tiger though

Disgraceful omissions in this thread, should have been a public consultation first, tempted to overturn this thread. Nakhchivan you are the Michael Gove of shit indie.

^^

Mansun written out of history.

some of it's a bit dodgy (geddit): 18 wheeler weren't post-britpop, dubstar weren't really part of dis ting [or is this a callback to the florence machines in the other poll?], etc

18 Wheeler were on Creation, they definitely count.

guys, guys, let's just agree that they're all shit and move on

(xpost re Tiger) They sounded like Wreckless Eric. On "Puppet Pal", or whatever it was called.

yeah iirc oasis's first tour was supporting them? im just debating the use of 'post' here. this is ilm, sir. it's what we do, endlessly.

You've done quite well on the Geirbait but poorly on the Jaggerbait, cf leaving off MANSUN and ULTRASOUND. Also including Razorlight in the other thread and not featuring Cast and Ocean Colour Scene is wrongwrongwrong.

i am not engaged by this list in the same way as the las: many of them were harmless infatuations of young manhood to me; some I still enjoy. Even the crap… it is more like handling curious fossil fewmets, where the landfill poll was like picking up fresh human shit, without gloves.

I'll think some more, and listen. Northern Uproar/Heavy Stereo seem the default answer, but I should check. Maybe they are lost classics. I dimly remember wanting to like Powder (based on images, Pearl obvs has indie-boy crush genes) and failing, so they must be fairly bad.

last, not las. I am not engaged by The Las at all.
